Reports are coming in that Trump-era ICE agents have arrested even American-born citizens during raids. If you’re just heading to work or the grocery store, how would you prove you’re an American? This is getting out of hand—Americans have a right to privacy.

Change is in the air…The people are fed up and the uprising is coming. We can’t and won’t bend the knee to a bunch of billionaires.

1/ This is wildly illegal. That is not a question on which reasonable legally informed folks can disagree.
It doesn't fucking matter that he ran on doing illegal things. They are still illegal.
And striking at Congress's power of the purse is worse than illegal. It's anti-constitutional.

So this is the director of the OMB telling Congress very explicitly "it doesn't matter what dumbass appropriations bill you pass, we're gonna do what we want."

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize.
They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace.

So It Begins: The Disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil and Authoritarian Capture
The Trump Administration kidnapped a legal permanent resident and shuffled him through an authoritarian maze. We're witnessing the beginnings of something terrifying

As bell hooks said, class matters
America was founded on the premise that all people are created equal & that a ruling class was obsolete.
Republicans are winning a war that most people aren't aware has been raging for decades.
By starting a culture war, they hid that they were full on waging a class war.
We can't let them win.

That is correct.
Like the spoiled children of the rich who squander their unappreciated legacies, a vast swath of Americans are taking for granted the hard-earned freedoms and rule of law that made us a rich and powerful nation. If we are not careful we will lose our inheritance forever.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”
Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

I think this is correct.
Everyone involved in aviation KNOWS FOR SURE that reckless/ rampant changes of past six weeks will, *for sure,* make airplane crashes more likely.
But no airline exec wants to be the first to say this in public.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

As @metrauxjulia.bsky.social's crucial reporting shows, tens of thousands of people die each year waiting for the government to decide if they’re "disabled enough" to receive SSI.
Work requirements only deepen this cruelty—forcing those too sick to work to prove they "deserve" Medicaid coverage.

Trump's Medicaid cuts would leave millions without health care
The human cost will be brutal—unless a few Republicans develop spines.

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

And they can’t afford many of the things wealthier people rely on to alleviate stress
Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity.
I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking.

BREAKING -- Trump says he's kicking undocumented immigrants out of Social Security.
One small problem, though -- undocumented immigrants are ALREADY ineligible for Social Security benefits.
You know, because they don't have Social Security numbers. Because they're undocumented.
